I've learned so much from reading the discussions here over the years so I thought I should actually join!

I a home gardener in Los Gatos, CA, in the foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains overlooking Silicon Valley. It's USDA zone 9b and Sunset zone 16 here. I grow all the usual stuff (it once was the mecca of apricots and plums), but have been developing an obsession for subtropicals.

For two years I've been growing macadamia, avocados (both mexican and guatemalan), and edible bananas. Still too young for fruit/nuts, but they've come through the winters just fine. This year I am adding cherimoya, white sapote, and mangoes to the garden.

I talked to a couple of local nurseries that claimed to have Cherimoya (Menlo Growers, God's Little Acre), but when I went down there they turned out to have African Pride Atemoya, which is a Sugar Apple/Cherimoya hybrid that is more cut out for Southern California.

I eventually bought two grafted Cherimoyas in 5 gallon pots via eBay, of all places.

I have some extra grafted Cherimoya trees available in Santa Cruz. They are in 5 Gallons with 1" caliper trunks and are ready for planting out. I have the following varieties available for $35 each; Boothe, Spain, HoneyHart, and perhaps another miscellaneous variety or 2 still. Send a PM for more info.

I just bought a Honeyhart Cherimoya tree last week from Lowes on Coleman Ave in San Jose (by the airport and Costco). $35 for 5-gallon, and they were decent sized (about 4 feet tall). They had about 5 trees then. You can give that Lowes a call and see if they still have any before you head over, or you can ask them to hold it or special order it for you. Good luck!
